If Doesn’t Bring Joy

I read “Discard anything that doesn’t spark joy” in * The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying: A Simple, Effective Way to Banish Clutter Forever by Marie Kondo.

Now, she was talking about things in your house, but it’s great advice.

Life is short and unpredictable. My husband, Nick , recently had a major health scare. There is no better reminder that life is both fleeting and a gift than the idea of losing a loved one.

Protect your energy

Everything you do and take in affects your health and energy, so protect your energy by limiting what you allow into your life.

“If it doesn’t bring joy, love, or purpose, then don’t give your time, energy, or attention,” Unknown.

I’m not sure who said that first, but I’m sure it is among the best actionable advice that one can recieve. I wish it was drilled into me at a young age, so I share it with my kids.

Emotional intelligence and how it affects our relationships is something that most have had to learn the hard way. It is my hope that this simple blog perhaps someone skip some steps.

Blessings!
